Exclusive Interview
Tell us about yourself: Why do you want to work as a model? Why are you interested in this career?
I'm working as a model since I was 15. I can say I didn't choose this profession, but it chose me. Every time I was walking my native city (LVIV), model managers stopped me, invited to take part at national beauty contest, take part of their model school and then agency. Later I moved to Milan for studying and sincerely didn't planned to continue my model career, but the same things were repeating. I received a lot of invitations to participate in Milan Fashion Week, then Paris Fashion Week, lot of shootings, castings , advertising company, made me believe that modeling is my destiny and to be part of fashion is my mission here.
Tell us about your education: Have you attended fashion modeling courses? What related courses or studies have you taken?
Yes, I finished model school in Ukraine when I was 15. And I think it was very useful, we had the lessons of walking, posing, make up, model etichette, psychology, acting , dietology and so on...It was very nice time.
Why would you think you’re fit to be a model?
I think the only requirement in order to be model and to be successful - is to feel that you are special and feel fashion in your blood. I don't fit to be model, modeling is my life : )
What are your goals as a model? How do you see yourself progress in this field?
I progressing quite good, I already was on 3 covers this year, a lot of magazines asked me for interview about my story and my way. So, for me it's already success. In this period fashion is in a big trouble. But I hope everything will change this year and I will have a possibility to make a lot of interesting collaborations.
How do you communicate with people? Are you patient? Are you friendly? How open are you to clients’ requirements?
I'm very curious about people, I love to listen them , to understand them and to be useful for them. I like to meet totally different people and to see beauty in every of them, because that's part of my job. Isn't it ? 🙂
